Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In wake of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's birthday January 15, UVSC held its annual Human Rights Day commemoration and conference series Monday and Tuesday. Featured were films, lectures, and distinguished guests, such as civil rights activist Elizabeth Eckford. Eckford was one of the "Little Rock Nine" that made history when they became the first African American students to be integrated into Central High School (an all-white high school) in 1957. Eckford is now a social worker in Little Rock, Arkansas. "It's not difficult now to talk about these things," Eckford said. "I learned that not talking about it was not the answer." Eckford talks with students groups all over Arkansas about her experiences. "Even though it has been more than 40 years ... these are very emotional subjects," she said. After several discussions with Assistant History Professor Dr. William Cobb, she agreed to come to Utah and participate in the event. "It was a rare honor to be able to have Eckford speak," Cobb said.
